Ex-Cowboys QB Tony Romo reiterated to NFL Network that he will not return to play football this season.

Bleacher Report recently spread rumors Romo could come back to play this year. "Like I said before, I'm done," said Romo, now CBS Sports' lead color analyst. "I'm pretty happy and excited about the opportunity that was presented to me. I got coach Jim Nantz teaching me all the tricks of the trade that I'm going to be behind on, but I'm improving fast. It gives me a chance to compete, get better and improve. I get to be passionate about the game, hopefully teach a little bit, hopefully make it a little bit entertaining along the way. It's going to be fun." Wed, Jul 12, 2017 08:38:00 PM

According to Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman, "most teams" think former Cowboys QB Tony Romo "will be back to play again sooner than later."

Freeman spoke to "several front office executives" who said if their starting quarterbacks get hurt, Romo will be the first call they make looking for a replacement. Romo has everything going for him. He doesn't have to practice right now and grind through a training camp, while also knowing he has a check coming from CBS Sports and can come back to the game at any time. Still just 37, Romo, despite multiple back problems, likely has 2-3 good years left. Wed, May 31, 2017 01:35:00 PM

Former Cowboys QB Tony Romo has yet to file his retirement papers and doesn't have any immediate plans to do so.

Until he does, there will continue to be speculation about Romo's plans. He's committed himself to CBS Sports as a color man next to Jim Nantz, but Romo's heart still seems to be in the game as a player. It'll be interesting to see if he's able to be lured back to the game when teams start hitting the field for preseason action. Romo is free to sign with any team since he was released.

MMQB's Peter King believes the door is "still three percent open" for retired Tony Romo to return to football.

"He misses it," King wrote. "He will miss it in August." King did a podcast with Romo last summer and believes the "passion and excitement" for playing still runs deep in Romo. Per King, the Texans were serious about Romo once he was granted his release by Dallas, but the Broncos were never really interested. Wed, Apr 5, 2017 10:41:00 AM

Broncos GM John Elway said the team has no "intent" to pursue Tony Romo even if he is released by the Cowboys.

The Broncos have been leaking lukewarm interest in Romo for quite some time, but those leaks were thought to be an effort to convince Dallas they would not trade for the quarterback. Perhaps this is another such attempt -- "intent" is not the same as "no chance" -- but 9 News Denver's Mike Klis reports the Broncos' interest has "cooled" in the last month. With Romo now looking like a long shot, Denver will turn to either Trevor Siemian or 2016 first-rounder Paxton Lynch. Siemian is the favorite to win that battle.
